About Me

When my husband and I purchased our home years ago, we never knew we were going to start building a large family. We planned to have just two children, so we bought a three-bedroom home we loved in a great location. Years later, after having two children, we found out we were expecting twins! We didn't want to have to move, but thought we had to since we were "outgrowing" our home. I got in touch with a local contractor and learned that we could expand our home very affordably, and so we chose to add an addition to our home. It was the best decision we ever made, and I have since learned that I love home improvement projects! I thought it would be fun to start a blog to share my home improvement tips, along with some fun stories. Please come back often for new tips!
